Coca-Cola launches 'Starlight' limited edition drink inspired by space

Coca-Cola is returning to space, in a new and different way.

Coca-Cola is returning to space, in a new and different way. The soft drink, which in 1985 became one of the first carbonated beverages to be taste tested by astronauts in orbit, is now attempting to bring the taste of space down to Earth as a limited edition.

My local Target put them out for sale today and I just tried my first sips. I would describe it as tasting definitely not as sweet as regular Coke, but hard otherwise to describe — I guess that's why they call it "Space Flavored"!

Coca-Cola has partnered with the fashion brand Staple to offer a line of Starlight-inspired apparel.

I tried the "space flavored" Coke and it's actually pretty good. Too bad it's just for a limited time, if memory serves.

I have tried it over the past few days. I would describe the flavor as a combination of cream soda and black cherry soda.

Hmm. Intriguing. But the limited edition status is curious. If it turns out to be popular, you'd think they'd just launch it (pun intended) as a new product line.
